- Quotes
Clarence Darrow: [I was reading last night of the aspiration of the old Persian poet, Omar-Khayyam,he told the judge. It appealed to me as the highest that I can vision. I wish it was in my heart, and I wish it was in the hearts of all: So I be written in the Book of Love; I do not care about that Book above. Erase my name, or write it as you will, So I be written in the Book of Love]
Featured review
Cannot praise this film enough, Kevin Spacey was brilliant. I had never heard of Clarence Darrow. What a man , he was a Charles Dickens, he showed the courts how to be merciful.
He changed so much of the laws , about black people , the union s etc . This is a must watch. First class film.
I am going to read up about his writings, and find out more about this fascinating person.
My husband and I were truly mesmerized , it captured the era. Its a shame they didn't make two films. What Darrow achieved was hardly touched on.
